Frog and Salamander: A Comparison Story ...

Rhea Pechter
About this episode

Comparison...we all do it. Except me. I never compare myself to other people. Okay, fine. I do it too. But I'm trying not to! Listen in to hear how Frog comes to realize that all the energy he's put into comparing himself to Salamander - the most famous writer in Wormly Pond - might not be doing him any favors.

If you love this story, please share it with all frogs in your life, anyone still using a typewriter, any and all salamanders with bestselling books, and your friends! They might just need a good story these days. And if you happen to have an Apple device, leave a review in Apple Podcasts!

If your tiny person wants to share a story they've written, please send photos or recordings of it to rhea@littlestoriestinypeople.com. I'd LOVE to see their artwork, stories, and anything else they'd like to share.

BIG THANKS to the listeners who provided sound effects used in the story: ORLI, SAMI, CALLIE, and her dad, PAUL!

Thank you to ZEV for helping me with the reminder at the beginning of this episode!!
